Ultrasound-guided Versus Fluoroscopy-controlled Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injections: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

OBJECTIVES:Recently, most lumbar spine injections have been administered under ultrasound (US) guidance; however, there is no standard method for US-guided lumbar transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI). In this study, we evaluated the accuracy, effect on pain relief, and safety of US-guided lumbar...

description OBJECTIVES:Recently, most lumbar spine injections have been administered under ultrasound (US) guidance; however, there is no standard method for US-guided lumbar transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI). In this study, we evaluated the accuracy, effect on pain relief, and safety of US-guided lumbar TFEI. METHODS:A total of 80 patients with low back pain and radicular pain were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to either the fluoroscopy (FL) group or the US group. The FL-guided approaches were performed under standardized procedures using the C-arm, whereas the US-guided injections were performed with an US device with a linear probe, and were verified by FL. The needle tip reached the lateral side of the lamina in the axis view and the middle of the adjacent facet joints in the parasagittal view. Afterward, the needle was advanced slightly deeper until the loss-of-resistance test was positive. RESULTS:The success ratio of the US-guided interventions was 85%. The operation time in the US group (518±103 s) was shorter than the FL group (929±228 s) (P
